Am I the only one who was reminded of "Andromeda Strain" upon seeing a
capsule that had travelled in outer space fall back on the ground in
remote area of USA ?


Out of curiosity, has NASA taken any steps to filly isolate/quarantine
the capsule ? From the video footage I saw, it didn't seem obvious at all.


Are the contents of the capsule still in vacuum, totally sealed from the
outside ? Or did it repressurise as the capsule re-entered our
atmosphere ?

Well, I hardly feel there is a case here. I mean a lot of the grains of dust
that come into Earths atmosphere each day have come from a similar source,
and the larger lumps that make it to the ground too, and so far, no alien
life seems to have been transported.

Also, remember /Genesis? That was a wreck and we are still not infested by
aliens.

I understand, as they are taking it to a clean room, the sample container
must be sealed, or there would be no point in using such a place.
